Important Note:

PHO is currently reviewing the updated Ministry of Health guidance: COVID-19 Integrated Testing & Case, Contact and Outbreak Management Interim Guidance: Omicron Surge.

We will be updating our website and resources to align with this guidance soon.

If you have been in contact with or exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, take the Ontario COVID-19 self-assessment to determine next steps for you and the people in your household.

Blood Borne Infections

Blood borne infections (BBIs) are viruses that are carried in the blood, specifically hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). They can be transmitted through sexual contact, sharing needles, needle-stick injuries, from mother to baby during pregnancy, during birth or through breast feeding. BBIs may also exist in other body fluids. We provide public health workers with expertise, support and resources for the prevention and control of BBIs.
